16-Row Aluminum Oil Cooler Kit

The Kage 16 Row Oil Cooler Kit provides essential cooling for high-performance driving scenarios, including track use, turbocharged naturally aspirated engines, and drift applications where sustained high RPMs can lead to excessive oil temperatures. Maintaining oil below 300°F is crucial to preserve its lubricating properties and prevent premature engine wear or failure. This kit features a black aluminum 16-row Mocal-style cooler, 4 meters of AN-10 stainless steel braided hose, and a variety of Aeroquip-type fittings (2 x 90-degree, 2 x 45-degree, and 2 x straight) for flexible installation. The included sandwich plate has two 1/8" NPT ports, allowing for the addition of oil temperature and/or pressure gauges, with blanking plugs provided if not needed. An HKS oil filter is also included for optimal filtration. Installation requires careful consideration of space for the sandwich plate and fittings, as well as the ability to cut the hose to the desired length using tools like an angle grinder. It is recommended to review installation guides for aeroquip-type fittings. Brackets for mounting the cooler are not supplied and will need to be fabricated by the user. This kit does not include a thermostat, so fitting an oil temperature gauge is advised to prevent overcooling. This standard cooler kit is compatible with Subaru Impreza WRX/STi models equipped with EJ20 and EJ25 engines. The production year is listed as 1992, though the compatible engine codes suggest broader application within the EJ series. The hose size is AN-10, and the material is aluminum. The kit is manufactured in the United Kingdom.
